1. This is a petition presented by the American International Assurance Company (Bermuda) Limited on the basis of a judgment debt in HCA No. 4509 of 2000 entered pursuant to an order made by Chu J on 18 April 2001 in the sum of HK$543,442.56. The statutory demand was served on the debtor personally on 19 July 2001 and the petition herein filed on 12 October 2001 was served on him personally on 16 October 2001.
2. At the hearing before me on 14 January 2002, I adjourned the petition to today on condition that the debtor is to pay into Court HK$400,000.00, being the undisputed part of the debt, by 15 February 2002. I was told by the petitioner's solicitor that no payment into Court has been made to date by the debtor, who has not attended today's hearing. That being the position, I make a bankruptcy order against the debtor with costs to the petitioner.
